The discovery of the properly melodic landscape and the properly rhythmic character marks the moment of art when it ceases to be silent painting on a signboard. This may not be art’s last word, but art went that route, as did bird: motifs and counterpoints that form an autodevelopment, in other words, a style. The interiorization of the melodic and sonorous landscape finds its exemplary form in Liszt and that of the rhythmic character in Wagner.
